Baby Rowan (Bean) Bejjani Shows Us the Goods!

This is how we were introduced to our baby boy Rowan today at 8:15 am...

Technician to J and J: "He's a boy. There it is, his penis. Not as obvious as other little boys', but there nonetheless".

J thinking to herself: " Who is she to imply that my son has a small ding-a-ling? Sheesh."

J thinking to himself: "Yes!! I don't need to go out and buy a shot gun."

When I asked John if he heard what the technician said about Rowan's private parts he had totally twisted what she had said around in favour of our son so to speak. He thought she implied he was bigger than normal! I imagine that we will both be guilty of hearing what we want to hear when it comes to our wonderful son, but isn't it comical that our first experience of parental over protectiveness has everything to do with the size of his genitals? My god, he will die when he grows up and hears this story. I will get great pleasure telling his partner all of this someday...

So, yes. We are going to be parents to a little boy. While I really did believe we were going to have a boy, it feels a lot different now that we know for sure that he is Rowan Kanj Bejjani. I am terrified because I have had so little experience with boys but I have to admit, the idea of seeing him run around getting into mischief is truly thrilling. I can already see us reading with daddy, catching frogs and turtles at grampa and gramma's, reeling in and tuning up the fish at 82, riding our mountain bikes, snowboarding, taking the dogs for a walk, hanging and talking loudly at the Bejjanis', collecting allies and learning the difference between minis and croaks, teaching daddy about the differences between tree and duck types... There just isn't a word in the dictionary to explain how elated I am about the prospect of seeing the world through his eyes and redoing all of the things I used to love doing as a child with him and John.

Rowan...
